Hi Shawn,

You need to subclass .NET controls in code and not via the designer. Just create a new C# or VB.NET class and inherit from the control you want to inherit from. To use the control, you would add it to the toolbox and then drag it onto a form. Not as easy as FoxPro but you will get the same end result.
